Power corrupts; Absolute power corrupts absolutely; God is all-powerful. Draw your own conclusions

Theists think all gods but theirs are false. Atheists simply don't make an exception for the last one.

On the first day, man created God.

Atheists will celebrate life, while you’re in church celebrating death.
